ALCO and GE co-built T-Motors from 1913 to 1926 to take over the main line passenger duties from the earlier and somewhat less capable S-Motor classes. Like the rest of the eastern electric fleet T-Motors were only used on the third rail territory from Grand Central Terminal on to the Hudson and Harlem Divisions. Compared to the S-Motors the T's had more power and with no unpowered wheels all of the locomotive's weight could be transferred into tractive effort. The T-Motors were also faster than the S-Motors and hauled everything from commuter trains to the 20th Century Limited.

Sunset Models has built the T-3a with details of the 1950s version. Avaiable in Black or Lightning Stripe Paint Scheme. There are 3 engine numbers per scheme available.https://youtu.be/hbNIc2glZ9o
